There was something very significant happened in February 2023 with #bitcoin network but there are lot of people from bitcoiners community who have been normalizing this event.

Since February 2023, #bitcoin has been going through (I would say at least an social attack) and it seems like #bitcoiners are not resisting enough against this attack since there is a narrative being pushed to a lot of #bitcoiners that "THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN REALLY DO TO STOP THIS ATTACK".

This whole narrative is a PSYOP. DO NOT FALL FOR IT

If you are not sure what exactly happened in February 2023, I would strongly suggest checking this website out. It explains what has exactly happened and what you can do to MITIGATE this (social) attack (for now).

[I would also suggest all the bitcoiners to run your own node. You can't become self sovereign individual without running your own #bitcoin    node with #bitcoin knots not original #bitcoin    core version]

Can you briefly explain here? No offense but not clicking that link

Bitcoin_To_The_Oblivion 1y ago

A bunch of high time preference people are adding arb data into blockchain and polluting the blockchain and these people have been pushing the narrative that you can't stop them from adding arb data into blockchain but the fact that by running bitcoin knots version of bitcoin core, you can MITIGATE this attack.

The link I shared is not fake link but it will give you detailed explanation on what I mentioned here.

I see. If nodes run knots but don’t mine does it still help reduce the arb spam?

Bitcoin_To_The_Oblivion 1y ago

Yes it MITIGATES the spamming for sure.

BTC_P2P 1y ago

The reservation I have about Knots is that I don’t know how reliable the code-base is. I can’t vet it myself and I don’t know how if others have done it already. Any info here?

It's a fork of Core. Just makes a few things user configurable that aren't in Core. It's extremely low risk vs independent, ground-up implementations like BTCD which have fallen out of consensus before. There isn't really that risk but of course there are fewer eyeballs on Knots than Core.

BTC_P2P 1y ago

This is a great answer. Thank you.

Luke Dashjr 1y ago

No worse than Core. Arguably better since it includes many more fixes

Where do I safely download Knots?

Will you ever consider implementing TXHASH, CTV or other upgrades?

Feels like there needs to be a downstream repository where upgrades / soft forks can be merged and downloaded safely. I’d like to run this stuff to get the ball rolling.

Softforks require community support

BTC_P2P 1y ago

Thank you. Any chance you will merge CTV and/or TXHASH in the future?

Luke Dashjr 1y ago

Again, softforks require community support

BTC_P2P 1y ago

What if you made the code base for certain soft forks available so the community members that wanted to could support these changes? It seems talking about it on xitter and nostr isn’t enough. Something actionable could be a good barometer if support does actually exist.

I would run Knots + TXHASH so that it could exist and be an option. Maybe others would too. I’m not a technical so if this line of thinking doesn’t make sense just understand I don’t fully understand why. But I’m saying this stuff in good faith as someone who wants to push things forward.

My dude it's 2024. Nobody is clicking links anymore.

there's an easy way to confirm a NAME.github.io link:

go to github.com/NAME/NAME.github.io and look through the repository.

tl;dr - it's SPAM
